[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. [b]I think it's easy to underestimate how much ADHD impacts things.[/b] Flitting around, getting distracted, having trouble focusing, makes reading very difficult when you already know how to read - when you are learning how to read, it's that much harder. Children need to practice reading. Children with ADHD need to practice a skill 10x as much as an NT child - so it will take her longer to learn to read and to learn to enjoy reading. [/quote] +1 I have moments like this. It can be so hard to understand why somebody isn't getting something. OP I suggest you do some research on ADHD, like watching Dr. Barkley's videos on YouTube. Just understanding why your kid struggles with something can be so helpful! [/quote]
